Perry Estal, 70, of Greeley died Nov. 13, 2013, at Hospice Care of Northern Colorado. He was born Dec. 27, 1942, to Loren and Frances (Anderson) Estal in Mason City, Iowa.

Perry was raised and reared in Iowa. In 1960, he joined the Air Force and served as a B-52 aircraft mechanic. In 1965, he was honorably discharged and moved to Greeley. He was a past member of Gloria Christi Lutheran Church. Perry married Virginia Wake Printz in September 1985.

Perry wasn’t a punctual man, but that trait held no bearing on his hard work. He was gruff on the outside, but a teddy bear on the inside; he had a heart of gold. Perry was very trusting and also very trustworthy. He never held a grudge. Perry was “old school” — a handshake often sealed the deal. Cars were Perry’s passion since his early childhood. He owned and operated Perry’s Auto Repair in Greeley since February 1978. His restorative work was not flashy, but rather economical. It was how the car ran, not how it looked. His family recalls times when Perry would finish restoration on one of his vehicles and, instead of driving it around town for a test drive, they would load up and take a thousand-mile trip. Perry enjoyed teaching his mechanic trade, always wanting to give those in times of struggles a second chance.

Perry was an avid car show attendant, having attended hundreds of car shows throughout his 70 years of life. He was a member of Good Times Car Club of Greeley, Igniters Car Club of Greeley, the National Street Rod Association, the Minnesota Street Rod Association and the National Good Guys Car Club.

Jamison graduated from Holy Family High School and earned his social science degree at the University of Northern Colorado (formerly Colorado State College). He was employed by State Farm from 1968 to 2000, where he worked in many roles from auto underwriting to agency administration.
